About this listen

One thing is for sure: Most people want good relationships or even great ones. With these simple words, Dr. Gary Sweeten invites us into his life's work of teaching people worldwide how to love other people in ways that make them feel understood, valued, and appreciated. In one slender volume, Gary distills his most helpful teachings, biblical precepts, scientific findings, poignant stories, memorable taglines, down-to-earth experiences, and heaven-sent grace.

Loving other people isn't a matter of emitting love rays but of demonstrating genuineness, warmth, empathy, and respect. For most of us, though, the few skills we think we have in those areas can be more hurtful than helpful: Oh, you shouldn't worry about your son. He'll grow out of it. But in this book, Gary explains concrete, learnable skills that we can all use to demonstrate concern without trying to fix people: It seems like things have been piling up on you, and you wonder what's going to happen next. That kind of response not only conveys warmth, empathy, and respect but also ensures that we don't end up owning other people's problems.

Communicate for a Change targets ordinary moms and dads, neighbors and friends, coworkers, and perfect strangers who want to demonstrate extraordinary care. Counselors and Christian leaders will also benefit from Dr. Sweeten's fifty years of experience combining current psychological research with time-honored biblical principles. A companion workbook and video series are available at RelationalPeace.org and supplementary materials for group study.

Communicate for a Change is a treatise on connection. Now, more than ever, we need practical wisdom on how to make connections and protect them. Dr. Gary Sweeten is the best in class, and his insight will improve your relationships right away. Beth Guckenberger, Author/Speaker, Co-Executive Director, Back2Back Ministries
